Girl group izna just shared striking new concept photos for their highly anticipated second mini album, Not Just Pretty, generating excitement among fans as they prepare for their September 30 comeback.
The six-member group, formed through Mnet's survival show "I-LAND 2," announced their return on September 3 with a bold title poster featuring intense red, orange, and black visuals that showcase the group's distinctive energy.
The group has released multiple sets of concept photos that highlight their evolved image and style. The first set of individual concept photos, shared on their official social media channels, showcased each member with sophisticated makeup and striking visuals. Mai, Bang Jeemin, Koko, Ryu Sarang, Choi Jungeun, and Jeong Saebi each displayed their unique charms through carefully crafted shots that emphasize their growth since their debut.
A second set of concept photos followed, featuring a more relaxed and casual aesthetic that contrasts with their previous work. These images capture the members in a gas station setting with a cool, sporty vibe that signals a departure from their earlier charismatic concepts. The styling choices reflect what industry observers describe as "Gen Z concepts" that merge free-spirited attitudes with classic sensibilities.

izna's comeback marks their third release of 2025, following their digital single "SIGN" in March and "BEEP" in June. The group made their debut in November 2024 with their first mini album N/a and have since established themselves on global stages, performing at events like KCON LA 2025 and Summer Sonic 2025. Their rapid rise in the international market has positioned them as emerging icons in the fifth-generation K-pop landscape.
The Not Just Pretty album will be available in both photobook and posterbook versions, each containing extensive visual content and special inclusions for fans. Pre-orders for the album began immediately following the announcement, with various record retailers offering different package options.
This comeback represents the group's first major release as a six-member unit following former member Yoon Jiyoon's departure from the group in August due to health reasons. The remaining members, Mai, Bang Jeemin, Koko, Ryu Sarang, Choi Jungeun, and Jeong Saebi, have adapted to their new formation while maintaining the confidence and stage presence that initially drew attention during their survival show days.
izna's management company, WAKEONE Entertainment, has indicated that additional information about the album, including the tracklist and music video teasers, will be released progressively through their official social media channels leading up to the September 30 release date. The group's collaboration with producer Teddy and his agency, The Black Label, continues to shape their musical direction as they work to establish their distinctive sound in the competitive K-pop market.
